To clarify- she treated one of the Spanish priests who died in Spain of Ebola. I do not believe this nurse has been to West Africa.
If so that's bad. Really bad. Maybe we developed nations aren't invincible after all as far as Ebola is concerned.

Hospital Alcorcón Sources have reported that the patient was admitted this morning in the middle with possible symptoms of virus infection.

They added that, because of the possibility of infection, activated the security protocol of action necessary for a possible case of this disease.

La Paz-El Hospital Carlos III, where the patient works, has treated two cases of Ebola, the Spanish missionaries Manuel García and Miguel Pajares Viejo, who were repatriated from Africa and eventually died from the virus.

I hope they will share any information immediately that would support a likely cause - like a documented lapse in PPE or a reported needle stick - anything that will create a justified reason vs. an unknown and panic inducing cause for transmission.

It says she had been reassigned to La Paz, I wonder if they knew there might be an exposure and took her off of patient care. If she had clinical duties, it will be interesting to see how her recent patient contacts are handled.

I hope they considered all HCW at minimum to be low risk exposures and kept them from clinical duty until a quarantine period was over.

Please move to discussion thread. Sorry I didn't see it before posting.

The case of this infection involves the first to be produced in Europe , since other cases have been in people who were in the affected countries of Africa and which were subsequently moved to Europe.

Minute by minute 14.45 h the press conference ended. The message I wanted to give Health is "quiet", although they have provided few details about this new case of Ebola.

20.44 h Health indicates that it is investigating what could fail, and the original source of infection.

It is important to ascertain exactly how Madrid nurse was infected to prevent inaccurate scare stories circulating on internet

The news that a nurse in a Spanish hospital has been infected with the Ebola virus by a patient she was helping to treat will greatly dismay those trying to reassure people in Europe and the US that they are safe from the disease.

This should not happen. In countries with sophisticated healthcare systems, such as Spain and the US, it ought to be almost impossible for a nurse to become infected once the hospital is aware that it has an Ebola patient.

In Dallas, ambulance workers were put at risk and are now effectively in quarantine because of ignorance: the hospital did not know that Thomas Duncan might be infected with the virus when they responded to the call to transport a sick man.

But in Spain there does not seem to be that excuse. The priest Manuel Garcia Viejo, whom the nurse was helping to treat at Madrid’s Carlos III hospital, had been repatriated from Liberia precisely because he had Ebola.

It refers to the nurse as both a man and a woman and mentions a husband, do we know which it is?

nurse has come to tell that you do not know how it has infected the nurse has just comment that does not know how been infected, since it followed the protocol indicated that while attending the missionary Manuel García Viejo.

"We are in this breathing space before it happens. We do not know how long that breathing space is going to be. But, if we are not all organizing ourselves to get ready and to take action to prepare for a pandemic, then we are squandering an opportunity for our human security"- Dr. David Nabarro

A nurse who treated an ebola patient has symptoms for 6 days before being admitted and isolated? I hope I'm reading this wrong.
